Roasted Yams With Candied Walnuts & Raisins

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F

2. 2

   Wash the yams and pat them dry.

3. 3

   Poke yams a few times with a fork, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes (depending on size; mine took a full hour). The yams are done when thick juice is seeping out of them and they're soft when poked.

4. 4

   Remove yams from the oven and set aside.

5. 5

   Add remaining ingredients at the same time to a medium-sized skillet and heat to medium or medium high. Stir with a wooden spoon until honey is coating everything, walnuts become fragrant and raisins plump up, about 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn.

6. 6

   Once yams are cool enough to handle, quarter them and top with desired amount of topping.

7. 7

   Serve hot!

8. 8

   A fabulous idea: Give them a squirt of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted butter.
